Okay desk service

I would have gave 5 stars, but cannot. The reason being is due to the morning desk staff. The lady at he counter acted like it was below her to get out of the chair in the office to help us. When she did, she was very rude to us because we were making her do her job. The afternoon staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant.

Very clean room. All staff we came into contact with were very helpful and friendly. Carolyn is outstanding! Parking a large pickup was a little difficult due to construction containers stored in the parking lot in front of the rooms. Definitely will stay again next time we’re in town.

We liked the location. There's a nice view of the mountain and the surrounding area. I liked the plants and trees. We only stayed for 1 night so we didn't get to try the pool or outdoor patio. We were a little disappointed with the breakfast because it wasn't as good as the one at the Best Western in Georgia. Also the breakfast room is small. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

In our room, the beds were the most uncomfortable beds I've slept on in a long time. Also, the bathrooms for some mysterious reason, have no exhaust vent. There's a small, 4x6 vent-like thing in the wall, but that is definitely not an exhaust vent. The property is located very close to the Blue Ridge Parkway, which is great. Staff was very friendly. They just need to upgrade the beds and put some exhaust fans in the rooms and that will help.

Average Mid-Level Hotel

For a mid-level hotel, this one's fairly average. My initial encounter with an older woman at the front desk wasn't that great. She seemed really put out that I arrived at 2:30 to the point of rolling her eyes at me. I knew check-in was at 4pm, but often rooms are ready ahead of time, so I was just checking to see if that was the case. She also seemed miffed that I booked thru Hotels.com. When I walked out, I thought perhaps this woman shouldn't be working in customer service! Certainly not as the first person the public meets. When I checked in, my room didn't have any coffee cups & the coffeemaker hadn't been cleaned, nor was there a bag in the ice bucket. These were amended the following day, without me pointing them out. Other than that, the room seemed clean. I had to run the fan continuously because otherwise, every time the a/c shut off it made a super loud squeaky hinge sound, like a door from a haunted house! The toilet & sink are so low they're awkward, and I'm only 5' tall, so I'd hate to see anyone taller using them. There's NO soundproofing at all & you hear everything from the neighbors. Breakfast is lame. I didn't even bother after the first morning. The woman that works in the breakfast area was VERY friendly though, as was the younger woman who I encountered the first morning at the front desk.

The room was big and beds are good and comfortable. The sink, bathtub and toilet seats were low like it was designed for children. Breakfast can be called snacks. The night clerks were nice and friendly.
